Valentines Day Hanging Heart Decorations Craft Supplies Needed:

- Scissors
- Glue Gun
- Stuffing (wrapping paper, cotton balls, cotton batting, paper bags or newspaper)
- Pen
- Twine
- Red and Pink Paint
- Paintbrush
Gather all your supplies and head to the table. Make sure you are close to a plug for your hot glue gun. Go ahead and get that plugged in to warm up.
How To MakeFabric Hanging Hearts:
Start with your pen and your fabric. Fold a piece of fabric in half and draw out your heart. Cut both pieces out and lay them side by side. Keep your fabric scrap for other fun fabric scrap reuse crafts.
Pick one for the front and grab your red paint. Paint the front heart red and leave the back heart plain. After you have painted the whole front heart red, grab your light pink paint and place dots on your front heart. I just used my pinky finger to place the dots on the front heart!
Let your painted heart dry for about 10 minutes. After it has dried (doesn’t have to be completely dry), grab your back heart and line the edges of half the heart with glue. Place the top heart on the bottom heart making sure to line up the edges along the glue. Next, start stuffing the side that is glued together. Once you get that side stuffed, come around a little farther with the glue and press edges together. Leave a small hole open so you can stuff the other half.
Once you have stuffed your whole heart, seal up the remaining open spot with your hot glue. Finish up by gluing a small piece of twin on the back so that you can hand it on your front door!
